Stole from another board,who stole from yet another ;o)Do you have any cute or funny quirks? What about the rest of your family?

I'll start...When I do dishes,they have to be done in a certain order.Food cannot touch other foods on my plate.Coffee from home must be black,anywhere else with cream and sugar.Socks go on before pants.

DH...His ham and cheese sandwich has to be made in a certain order.He bites his fingernails,wont use a nail clipper.He blows his nose after every meal(eewww).

DS1...Won't eat the ends of bread.Has to have his back scratched a cerain way and for a certain length of time.

Oh boy....

I'll start with Kyle. He eats one food at a time on his plate, no particular order, but I suspect he saves the best for last. He paces while on the phone, can't sit still. MUST have a cigarrette after he eats or he 'feels sick'. Takes a ridiculously long shower and WILL still forget to wash his hair. He only shaves if I've just cleaned the sink. Refuses to drink milk one day after the expiration date, but will leave Chinese food sitting out for hours and still eat it. He must come and visit with me when i am on the toilet - no matter what I'm doing.

Me....Can't stand the sound of chewing/swallowing, have to hold my utensils in the 'European' style (fork upside down in left hand), I weigh myself every time I'm naked and won't eat breakfast until I've pooped and weighed myself, dish towel must be hung from stove door handle without the tag showing anywhere (this goes for all the towels in our house) the blinds must be raised to the same height and even. I wash and condition my hair before I wash the rest of me. On the other hand, I don't care if my foods touch and I will eat food off the floor (only if the three second rule is applied). I kiss dogs on the lips but won't let Kyle kiss me in the morning if he hasn't brushed yet.

Shoes off in the house. Closet doors must be closed when not in use.

If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

Acoustic, 12-string acoustic, and electric guitar for Kyle. He has been playing since he was five and is seriously considering quitting his day job and just teaching. He wants to take up the violin as well. His influences are Andreas Segovia, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, as well as other classical guitarists. His Spanish guitar is amazing. Makes me rip my clothes off and call him Zorro. OMG did I just say that out loud ?!?!


I fool around with percussion - bongo, djembe drums... I cannot read music but I can keep a beat like nobody's business..I will act as metronome for Kyle sometimes. I have a great 'ear' for things and can hear extremely low notes. Like almost subsonic. My hearing is extemely sensitive and I carry earplugs in my car just in case.

I did get Kyle this tiny little metronome that you wear in your ear - it's called 'Metrognome' - It's so cute!
